Review of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) by Alan Z — 05 May 2018
We've been telling the same stories since the beginning of films, the most important thing is to tell them differently. We could say that Hitchcock told us the same story over and over again, but the storytelling used in each one of the pictures he made was different from one to another.
The most remarkable thing about this movie is that Demy was able tell us such a banal story in a very charming and gripping way. We cannot deny this picture is formidable French entertainment inspired by Old Hollywood musicals.
Highly recommended!
